Chakra Emotion Meditation

[wavepsychic]

To be honest I wasn't sure if I should post this, because its to long & Theoretical. Basically every Chakra can be closed by a Negative Emotion & opened by its transmuted Virtue. I have been on a quest to find the Virtues that open the Chakra & my work isn't completed yet. One should be able to use Virtues while concentrating on a Chakra to help open it! This is not just for Meditation, it is also a life style, where you can keep the chakras open by being mindful of the Virtues. If someone feels I have a Virtue wrong or something that isn't an Emotion let me know & I can look into it and make changes. Also keep in mind that these Emotion/Virtues have different definitions & I am presenting the definition that feels the most holy. Feel free to look up these words for yourself. I am doing this because I strongly believe that our emotions effect our Chakras & energy flow. I do not go for all the lighting rainbow candles, the rocks, or mystic oils. I just don't feel they will benefit people much.

I shall start with the Root Chakra & fear. Everyone even Adrian says "Fear is the worst" "nothing to fear but fear itself" but what do people DO about it? I have heard that the opposite of Fear is hope, faith, or courage. These are to simple & do not neutralize Fear. So I did a lot of research & came up with the fallowing. Let me know if you agree or disagree. Non-virtues are black & Virtues are in color.

Hello Wavepsychic,

That's quite a descriptive rendering  of negative vs positive, or rather virtuous emotions you've done above! My only objection so far - apathy to me is a negative emotion. Is there a possibility of coming with something else instead?

Also, how do you propose a person should practice this change of the emotions into virtuous? Any methodology you can suggest or come up with?

That's quite a descriptive rendering  of negative vs positive, or rather virtuous emotions you've done above!

Thank you Melody. I have worked very hard, looking up definitions for many many words, finding there opposites ext.

My only objection so far - apathy to me is a negative emotion. Is there a possibility of coming with something else instead?

I understand. Looking back over the definition I used it can seem like it means lack of Excitement & Joy. Excitement & Joy are very important for increasing our Vibrations & balancing Karma in our life.

Apathy however is a very detached feeling. Lao Tzu had lots of Apathy. Apathy brings freedom from suffering. I used Apathy because the Buddha had to over come 4 inner demons & Passion was one of them. It is more of a feeling of indifference. Consider it a lack of interest in things & activities, NOT the lack of care for other people or forms of life. If you however still feel as thought Apathy is too extreme then use Temperance instead. There could even be a better Virtue to open the 2nd Chakra. This is just what I came up with from studying that Chakra.

Also, how do you propose a person should practice this change of the emotions into virtuous? Any methodology you can suggest or come up with?

First of all be aware of & remember the Virtues. I suggest focusing on the Root Chakra by pretending to see a "stop light at night with its glowing redness" at the base of the spine. Have it spinning like a vortex in the water & say the word Fortitude. Project the feeling of enduring hard ship in life & conquering pain at that point of focus. Then go to the next Chakra & imagine a orange sun set. Say the word Apathy or Temperance & project any feelings you associate with self-restraint. Do this with all of the Chakras anytime you do a chakra exercise. The most important thing is that you become mindful of the Virtues to the point where you remember them in life. Anytime you get annoyed you should think of "Serenity" & then ask yourself do you really care about what you are upset about? Say Apathy or Detachment. If you feel tired say "Vitality" and remind yourself that energy comes from within. If this Meditation doesn't work for you however then at least you know what some of the virtues are.

Feel free to comment.
